@mathhard According to the OpenStudy Terms of Services, you must be 13+ and currently enrolled in a High School/University, OR you must be 18+. The full statement is outlined in the ToS here, under the Eligibility section: http://openstudy.com/terms-and-conditions

You are currently violating the OpenStudy Terms of Use, and since that your attitude has not been great towards users, they have the option to report your account for ToS violation. Just saying ;)
